When President Donald Trump declared at the Pentagon Friday he was enacting strict new measures to prevent domestic terror attacks, there were few within his government who knew exactly what he meant.

Administration officials weren't immediately sure which countries' citizens would be barred from entering the United States. The Department of Homeland Security was left making a legal analysis on the order after Trump signed it. A Border Patrol agent, confronted with arriving refugees, referred questions only to the President himself, according to court filings.

Very few Americans want Green Card holders restricted from re-entry.

I do. All muzz slimes are either jihadis, or jihadi sympathizers. Whether they have a legitimate job or not is irrelevant. The muzz slimes need to be banned. Period.

Why doesn’t the press just quit all those pansy attempts to bring down the president by biased and deceptive reporting and just stage a coup? That is what they really hope will happen.

RE: Confusion is only in the weak minds of the perpetual Trump Haters.

Disagree. The intent might be a good one -— to protect America from terrorists, but the implementation and result will only end up being hated by most people.

This has been a screwed up first few days with personal stories of legal residents being detained hitting the news this Sunday morning, along with the airport protest.

This is NOT a well thought through executive order.

Cell phones are being taken away, some people put in handcuffs. One a 76 lady with a green card, another a 21 year old girl a fiancee of a Microsoft employee, a 5 year old boy separated from his family. The stories are only get worse as will the backlash.

We should note one fact which is missing from this suspension...Saudi Arabia, which was the start-up point for 15 of the 19 9-11 folks....isn’t on the suspension list.

I don’t think the swamp-draining experience has even started yet.

But they also encapsulate the pitfalls of an administration largely operated by officials with scant federal experience.

LOL! Awareness of the Constitution Trumps political hackery any day...He is on solid Constitutional/Legal ground and they all know it.

Exactly... and I'm not sure I've heard an explanation of why not.

For now, it’s a MORATORIUM until & unless we can figure out
what the heck is going on. We are SICK & TIRED of the damn
MUSLIMS blowing us up, mowing us down in semis or shooting
us with machine guns. - It CAN get worse if they want it
that way. They’ve destroyed the crapholes they once lived
in; now they want to come here and destroy the U.S., which
also stands for US!!!
